I must apologize

I have been partially responsible for the massive unemployment and out and out non-employment in the blacksmith industry. Instead of using horses for transportation I have spent my whole life using automobiles and mass transit.

This has helped to cause the blacksmith industry as this country once knew it to be wiped out. It is a far greater sin than my sometimes using self checkouts and passing off my shopping cart to someone going into the store.

1. I confess. I have taken the carts to the cart corral instead of taking it into the store.

7. Thanks for that.
It infuriates me to see runaway grocery carts making a dent in some innocent person's automobile.

12. Sometimes I try to Catch Them Before They Can Hit Someone's Car
Unless the car is a Hummer, then, not so much. ;)

14. I once had to catch one that had two young children in it.
The father had let go of it and turned his back, and it was about to go careening off into the parking lot.

3. Yes, and we should never bus after ourselves at McDonalds.

Think of how many teenagers you have put out of work by carrying your own trash to the bin. Leave it lie, I say. Force them to hire more kids.

4. "It is a far greater sin"
Perhaps, it is a greater sin. However, you need to trust in God's bountiful mercy. God has the capacity to forgive you if you have truly repented, my son.

8. And selfish people
who refuse to shoplift put store detectives in unemployment lines. This bugs me.

9. How About These Selfish Bastards?
Here's what bugs me --

People in big cities who take the subway.

They are putting cabbies out of business!

11. Have you ever been in the shopping cart demolition derby in
Wallyworld on a Saturday morning when everyone needs to be parked where your cart is? I say they should put large rubber bumpers on the things and let us go at it.

13. My use of Tupperware has wiped out the cooper trade.
Firkin makers everywhere are awash in sorrow.

The ceramics workers, and the people earning their livings in the Mason jar trade.
